Really this is one of the dumbest topics around. Much like "The Windup Girl" this whole subject is based upon the moronic assumptions that 1) we're running of oil (we're not, its just that its getting more and more expensive to get at what oil is out there) and 2) that oil is the ONLY source of energy (its not, hell,

Sure you could make the conclusion that "private industry can’t fund basic science" or you can take the more rational, logical conclusion which is that Google decided that funnelling billions of dollars down the rat hole that is "green energy" in the U.S. was a losing proposition and their shareholders would be better

$173MM more to study cow flatulence!! Yeah!!!

Where is nuclear on this list??

Windup Girl is massively overrated...much of its premise is virtually laughable...my review on it here:[nismostuff.blogspot.com]

This show is a mess...Not scary, not well thought out...just a regurgitated mess...

If only there were Nissan's in it...Oh well...its still a good thing!

Seems like everyone on here wants to cut the defense budget. I would argue that the defense department is a KEY publicly funded research organization—hell, you are pontificating on a Defense Department developed system right now! Add to that your beloved rockets, laser, bio research, nuclear, basic materials,

Well, then you better be OK with gutting the unions, social security, medicare, medicaid, and a host of other public boondoggles. Its all fine and dandy to say we should continue with publicly-funded science (which I am behind 100%) but you have to counter that with what are the most wasteful and overfunded programs

Now sending a generation ship to these planets is what Obama SHOULD propose for his new "stimulus" projects...

Dissapointed Image would be involved in such drivel...its no different that if they printed an Holocaust Denial comic...I won't be buying any of their crap going forward...

That's not augmented reality...that's a poster with a bar code...Again....Io9 killing me with its overhype and hyperbole...

Now if the title was "Rally-Raid" is the toughest racing in the world he might have been close. As great as Rally is, it doesn't compare to the requirements of something like Dakar or Baja.

In my best Randy voice "It's a Zeppelin!!!"

Soooo want one for my desk!!

Thin Red Line is excellent as well if you are looking at Malik's stuff...not like there's that much to begin with...

And there is now a real steel skidplate option for those thinking about stage rallying or rallycrossing the Juke as well. See here: [nismostuff.blogspot.com]

And there is also real, steel skid plate options out for those who were thinking about Stage Rallying or Rallycrossing the Juke as well...

Best revenge of all? The GT-R that was wrecked here? He has teammates in Michael Krumm and Lucas Luhr in the #23 JRM GT-R. And they won the race. And who'd they finish just in front of? An Aston Martin...
